You need 270 to "win." Are you saying you have him "leading" by that amount?

I think he meant 271.

Anyway, I did it and I came up with McCain 312 / Nobama 212.

I wonder if there's an over/under for the candidates?

All kidding aside - I wonder if you could go to Vegas, Reno, Wendover, or the like, and bet on how many electoral college votes McCain &/or Obama will win?

What are you using as data? Everything I find on Realclearpolitics.com shows a strong likelihood of an Obama victory.

I think I did this wrong. I somehow got Clinton defeating common logic 518 - 20. I'm not sure how this works out... :/

I put third party in for all of the states and I got an error saying I was wasting my vote.
